G-GPE.6 Find the point on a directed line Segment between two given points that partitionsthe segment in a given ratio.
At the end of this lesson, you should be able to answer the following question:
How do you find the point on a directed line segment that partitions the segment in a given ratio?
Vocabulary
Directed Line Segment:has a starting point and a end point, a direction.
To partition a directed line segment is to divide it into two segments with a given ratio.
What is a ratio?A ratio is a comparison of two
quantitiesThe ratio of a to b can be
expressed as:
a : b or a/b or
b
a
Connor has a wallet with:
1-$20 bill2- $10 bills1- $5 bill8-$1 bills
1) What is the ratio of $1 bills to $10 bills? 8:2 or 8/2 or 4/1 or 4:1
2) What is the ratio of $10 bills to the total number of bills in the wallet?
2:12 or 2/12 or 1/6 or 1:6
A 32 foot long piece of rope has a knot tied to divide the rope into a ratio of 1:1.
32 ft
Where should the knot be tied?
1. Divide the rope into 8 sections2. 32ft divided by 8 is 4ft3. There should be 1 unit in the first partition for every 1 unit in the 2nd
4. If the ratio is 1:1, then there is the same amout on each side of the partition. 4:4 is the same as 1:15. The knot should be tied at 16 feet6. A 1:1 ratio is the mid point

How do we find mid point if we are given two coordinates?
Midpoint Formula
Used to find the center of a line segment if you are given the coordinates of the 2 ends

What if they give you a mid pointand an end point, how can we findthe other end point?
Ex. In segment A is (4, 5) and
the mid point is B(10, 12).
Find the endpoint C
We can still use SAD2,
But we have to work it backwards and opposite.
AC
1. In segment A is (4, 5) and
the mid point is B(10, 12).
Find the endpoint C
We can still use SAD2,
But we have to work it backwards and opposite.
1. Multiply m.pt by 2
2. Subtract the end
3. That is your end
4. Check it

Point P divides in the ratio 3 to 1.
1. What does this mean?
AB
There are 3 units between A and P for every
1 unit between P and B
A 32 foot long piece of rope has a knot tied to divide the rope into a ratio of 3:5.

Where should the knot be tied?
1. Divide the rope into 8 sections2. 32ft divided by 8 is 4ft3. There should be 3 units in the first partition for every 5 in the 2nd
4. The knot should be tied at 12 feet
